The person concerned came to Ireland in November 2011 to join his wife who is in employment in the State. He made an application for jobseeker’s allowance in November 2012 which was disallowed, as based on his spouse’s earnings, his means were deemed to be above the allowable limit. He has never been employed in Ireland, and as he has not paid any social insurance contributions he is not entitled to receive credited contributions and form part of the Live Register.
